Next they'll implement DownThemAll natively. Really putting their finger on the pulse of 2008.

This is a nice feature when you have a group of multiple sites you need quick access to on the regular. For me, I manage around 12 websites in three environments ; dev, test, and prod. Being able to group the websites by environment keeps things organized and somewhat readily available at two clicks (maybe three if you count collapsing a group before opening another group).

Now, the team is experimenting with smart tab groups, a new AI-powered feature that suggests names and groups based on the tabs you have open.

I bet you one cheap bottle of mineral water they'll implement this like tomorrow

I mean, why not?

They integrated accessibility focused, local, AI pretty well.

Loads of folks bitched about it because they were triggered by "AI", but it's essentially invisible, as it should be.

I hate naming things, that's actually something AI is good at, hell yeah, let it name my shit for me please.

Then again, these communities are always full of Debby downers who hate on everything.

I don't care about AI when it's doing minor things like this it's when they're shoving it down our throats and we don't want it.

Because you know it’s really hard naming your group yourself

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if the inclusion of some small AI feature is what justified the rest of this work being done. As in, someone got approval for tab groups only because they were smart enough to describe it as “AI powered tab groups“. Just speculation

Do you use an add-on to prevent that from wiping out all but one window's worth of tabs when you close them? That's what originally made me get a tab grouping addon, after losing a ton of tabs when I broke some out into their own window and then later closed the main tab window before the secondary one. Realized immediately what happened but it was already too late to save that entire generation of precious tabs. Who knows what articles I didn't feel like reading at the time but was totally going to read later I lost forever.

I do this as well - the only exception is work, where I pin a few tabs. Out of curiosity are you an “inbox zero” person? Because I am, and the only parallel I can draw is between that and my similar tab management.

People love to hate on Mozilla without knowing shit. Some of it is literally 4Chan grade manipulation as well.

Like the whole ToS debacle. People just aren't interested in truth just rage 24/7

I use sidebery, I find it even better
